I did a buddy shoot at Tanner Springs Park and here are some pics of the girls: A friend shoot is a great way to have fun and save a few bucks because you split the session fee!

I got a chance to photograph a young lad and a couple young ladies yesterday at Tanner Springs Park--that place is a photographer magnet for a good reason!  There are so many versatile backgrounds for shooting, and it's a lovely part of town.  Afterwards we went to Via Delizia, where I tried salted caramel coffee gelato, and it was one of the best things to happen to my taste buds... ever.  I also hit up Pro Photo for a couple things and got the usually knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly service.  Love that place.  I ended up getting a Gary Fong Lightsphere, so we'll see how that works out in my next couple shoots.  I'm sure they are popular with the photogs for a reason!  I will post the rest of the teen pics, as well as some shots from the Portland Baby clothing shoot in the next few days.

I had the pleasure of doing a portrait of Michelle and Vanessa from Mostly Stitches.  I was pretty much in photographer heaven when they showed up in super-bright contrasting dresses and matching shoes! These girls make the most adorable trinkets, sweaters, custom embroidered notebooks, and the sweetest embroidered pillowcases, which I sleep on every night!  The lockets you see them wearing in the photos are for sale on their Etsy site.  More pics on my Facebook page and Flickr site.
